Hereinafter, a communication device, a communication system, a communication method, and a communication control program according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, an example is a case where a passenger of a vehicle (for example, a carrier) is a moving person, and a user of a communication device makes a hands-free call with the moving person. A user of the communication device is a first user, and a moving person who is an occupant of the vehicle is a second user.

In FIG. 1, the communication device 1 is located outside the vehicle, for example, inside the house. The communication device 1 may be a communication terminal such as a smartphone or a mobile phone. The communication device 1 may be an information processing device such as a personal computer or a tablet terminal. The mobile communication device 2 is mounted on the vehicle, and the smartphone 3 is inside the vehicle. The smartphone 3 is an example of a voice terminal, and the voice terminal may be a mobile phone, a personal computer, or a tablet terminal. The mobile communication device 2 is a navigation device that guides the route of the vehicle. The mobile communication device 2 and the smartphone 3 are connected to each other by short-range wireless communication of an arbitrary communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark).

The communication device 1 includes a data communication unit 101 (second data communication unit), a voice transmission/reception unit 102, a mobile body information storage unit 103, a display control unit 104, a display unit 105, an operation unit 106, a voice call control unit 107, and a voice. The processing unit 108, the speaker 109, the microphone 110, the moving body information analysis unit 111, the voice signal generation unit 112, and the voice recognition unit 113 are provided.

The mobile communication device 2 includes a data communication unit 201 (first data communication unit), an operation unit 206, a voice processing unit 208, a speaker 209, a microphone 210, a short-range wireless communication unit 211, a storage unit 221, and a position information calculation unit 222. The estimated arrival time calculation unit 223 and the vehicle travel information acquisition unit 224 are provided. The smartphone 3 includes a voice transceiver 302, a voice call controller 307, and a short-range wireless communication unit 311.

First, operations of the mobile communication device 2 and the smartphone 3 will be described. The mobile communication device 2 and the smartphone 3 are connected to each other by pairing with the short-range wireless communication unit 211 and the short-range wireless communication unit 311. Thereby, the second user makes a call to the first user who is one of the third parties or receives a call from the first user by the mobile communication device 2 without directly operating the smartphone 3. It is possible to answer hands-free calls and make hands-free calls.

The storage unit 221 stores destination information and map information set in advance by operating the operation unit 206. The destination information and the map information may be stored in different storage media. The storage unit 221 (storage medium for map information) may hold the map information fixedly, or may access the map database via the data communication unit 201 and a communication network 41 (first communication network) described later. The map information acquired in this way may be held temporarily.

The position information calculation unit 222 calculates the position information of the vehicle based on the GNSS signals that have received radio waves from three or more satellites for the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). GNSS is GPS (Global Positioning System) as an example. The position information calculation unit 222 is not limited to calculating the position information of the vehicle based on the GNSS signal, and may calculate the position information of the vehicle using a gyro sensor and a speed sensor.

The estimated arrival time calculation unit 223 determines the route from the current position to the destination based on the map information and the destination information, and calculates the estimated arrival time at the destination. The vehicle traveling information acquisition unit 224 acquires vehicle traveling information regarding the traveling state of the vehicle from the CAN (Controller Area Network) of the vehicle. The vehicle travel information acquisition unit 224 acquires vehicle speed information as vehicle travel information. The vehicle traveling information acquisition unit 224 may acquire operation information indicating how the steering wheel, the accelerator, or the brake is operated, instead of or in addition to the speed information.

The vehicle position information, the estimated arrival time, and the vehicle travel information are examples of information that does not include a voice related to the movement of the vehicle or the mobile communication device 2.

The data communication unit 201 transmits the vehicle position information, estimated arrival time, and vehicle travel information to the data communication unit 101 of the communication device 1 via the communication network 41 at predetermined timings. The position information transmitted from the mobile communication device 2 to the communication device 1 is preferably not a latitude and longitude information but a place name on a map based on the latitude and longitude information. The predetermined timing may be, for example, a predetermined time unit such as every 1 minute or 5 minutes, or a predetermined movement distance unit such as every 5 m or 50 m. Also, the above information may be transmitted in response to a request from the communication device 1 without being limited to each predetermined timing.

The communication network 41 is a data communication line, typically an internet line using a wireless LAN. The communication network 41 may be a fourth generation mobile communication system line such as LTE (Long Term Evolution) or a fifth generation mobile communication system line. The data communication unit 201 may transmit only one of the vehicle position information, the estimated arrival time, and the vehicle travel information to the data communication unit 101, or may use any combination of two or more data communication. It may be transmitted to the unit 101.

When the second user operates the operation unit 206 to make a call to the first user, a call instruction signal is supplied to the voice call control unit 307 via the short-range wireless communication units 211 and 311. The voice call control unit 307 controls the voice transmitting/receiving unit 302 to make a call to the communication device 1. When the first user performs a response operation using the operation unit 106, a call is established between the communication device 1 and the smartphone 3 via the communication network 42 (second communication network).

At this time, the microphone 210 picks up the voice of the second user, and the voice data processed by the voice processing unit 208 is supplied to the communication device 1 via the smartphone 3 and the communication network 42. The voice data transmitted from the communication device 1 is supplied to the mobile communication device 2 via the communication network 42 and the smartphone 3. The voice data from the communication device 1 is processed by the voice processing unit 208, and the voice is output from the speaker 209. The communication network 42 is a voice communication line, typically a mobile phone line.

The communication network 42 may be different from the communication network 41, but may be the same. The voice call between the first user and the second user in this case is a so-called IP telephone using the Internet line. When the communication network 42 is an Internet line, the voice transceivers 102 and 302 are voice transceivers of the IP telephone.

Similarly, when the communication device 1 makes a call and the smartphone 3 receives a call, and the second user operates the operation unit 206 to make a response, similarly, a call is made between the communication device 1 and the smartphone 3 via the communication network 42. Is established. Also in this case, the voice data of the voice of the second user picked up by the microphone 210 is supplied to the communication device 1 via the communication network 42. The voice based on the voice data transmitted from the communication device 1 is output from the speaker 209.

Next, the operation of the communication device 1 will be described. The data communication unit 101 receives any one of the vehicle position information, the estimated arrival time, and the vehicle travel information transmitted from the mobile communication device 2, or any combination of two or more. The mobile body information storage unit 103 stores any one of the position information, the estimated arrival time, and the vehicle travel information, or an arbitrary combination of two or more. These pieces of information are stored in the mobile body information storage unit 103 and reproduced by a storage reproduction unit (not shown). The mobile information storage unit 103 is an arbitrary storage medium, for example, a RAM.

The mobile body information storage unit 103 stores the position information, the estimated arrival time, and the vehicle travel information acquired within a predetermined time. When the data communication unit 101 receives the new position information, the estimated arrival time, and the vehicle travel information, Erase old information and store new information. The mobile body information storage unit 103 may store only the latest estimated arrival time for the estimated arrival time and delete the estimated arrival time stored immediately before.

The display control unit 104 may display at least one of the position information, the estimated arrival time, and the vehicle traveling information stored in the mobile unit information storage unit 103 on the display unit 105. When the first user operates the operation unit 106 to instruct the display unit 105 to display at least one of the position information, the estimated arrival time, and the vehicle traveling information, the display control unit 104 displays the instructed information. It may be displayed on the display unit 105.

In this way, the first user can confirm the situation of the second user and call the second user. For example, the first user can call the second user after confirming that the current time is past the estimated time of arrival at the destination. Even if the first user does not confirm the situation of the second user, it is automatically determined whether or not the timing is appropriate for the first user to call the second user as follows. Is determined.

The mobile body information analysis unit 111 causes the first user to call the second user based on at least one of the position information, the estimated arrival time, and the vehicle travel information stored in the mobile body information storage unit 103. It is determined whether or not it is a timing suitable for applying. For example, the moving body information analysis unit 111 determines whether or not the timing is suitable for making a call to the occupant of the vehicle as follows.

When the mobile body information analysis unit 111 analyzes that the position information has not changed for a predetermined time and the vehicle is stopped, it determines that the timing is suitable for making a call. The predetermined time is, for example, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, or the like, which does not include a pause due to a sign or a railroad crossing. When the mobile body information analysis unit 111 analyzes that the vehicle is stopped based on the vehicle travel information, the mobile body information analysis unit 111 may determine that the timing is suitable for making a call. The mobile body information analysis unit 111 may determine that the timing is suitable for making a call when the current time is past the estimated arrival time.

When the mobile body information analysis unit 111 analyzes that the vehicle is traveling on the highway based on the position information, it may determine that the timing is suitable for making a call. In this case, the communication device 1 may hold the map information or access the map database via the data communication unit 101 and refer to the map information. The influence on the driving of the voice call while traveling on the expressway is considered to be smaller than the influence on the driving of the voice call while traveling on the general road.

When the mobile body information analysis unit 111 analyzes that the vehicle is traveling stably based on the vehicle traveling information, it may determine that the timing is suitable for making a call. The moving body information analysis unit 111 can determine that the vehicle is traveling stably when the speed change of the vehicle is smaller than a predetermined change amount or the steering operation of the vehicle is smaller than the predetermined operation amount.

In addition, the moving body information analysis unit 111 analyzes that the vehicle is traveling on the highway based on the position information and that the vehicle is traveling stably based on the vehicle traveling information. At times, it may be determined that the timing is suitable for making a call. By performing the determination with reference to both the vehicle position information and the vehicle travel information, it is possible to determine the timing that is less likely to affect the driving.

When the first user operates the operation unit 106 to make a call to the second user, a call instruction signal is supplied to the voice call control unit 107. The voice call control unit 107 controls the voice transmitting/receiving unit 102 to make a call to the smartphone 3 when the mobile body information analysis unit 111 determines that the timing is suitable for making a call. When the second user performs a response operation using the operation unit 206, a call is established between the communication device 1 and the smartphone 3 via the communication network 42.

On the other hand, the voice call control unit 107 does not make a call to the smartphone 3 unless the mobile body information analysis unit 111 determines that the timing is suitable for making a call. At this time, the voice call control unit 107 controls the display control unit 104 via the mobile unit information analysis unit 111 so that the display unit 105 displays a message such as "I cannot make a call at present".

The voice call control unit 107 causes the voice signal generation unit 112 via the mobile body information analysis unit 111 to generate a voice signal for outputting a voice such as “currently cannot make a call” from the speaker 109. You may control. The voice call control unit 107 does not control the display control unit 104 to display a message on the display unit 105, but controls the voice signal generation unit 112 to generate a voice signal for outputting a voice from the speaker 109. Good.

Thus, when the first user operates the operation unit 106 to make a call in order to make a voice call with the second user, the voice call control unit 107 causes the mobile body information analysis unit 111 to perform the second user operation. Refer to the determination result of whether or not the timing is suitable for making a voice call. The voice call control unit 107 allows the voice transmission/reception unit 102 to make a call to the smartphone 3 if the timing is suitable for making a voice call, and if the timing is not suitable for making a voice call, the smartphone is made by the voice transmission/reception unit 102. Calls to 3 are not permitted.

In FIG. 1, the voice recognition unit 113 recognizes the voice uttered by the first user based on the voice data processed by the voice processing unit 108 by collecting the voice uttered by the first user with the microphone 110. The voice recognition unit 113 is used when a call from the first user to the second user is permitted and a voice call is made between the first user and the second user, and when the second user makes a first call. The voice uttered by the first user is recognized regardless of whether the voice call is made between the first user and the second user after being called by the user.

It is assumed that the voice recognition unit 113 recognizes that the first user has uttered a voice asking the second user about the position of the second user, such as "Where are you now?". At this time, the display control unit 104 displays the position of the second user on the display unit 105 based on the latest position information of the vehicle (mobile communication device 2) stored in the mobile unit information storage unit 103. You can The voice recognition unit 113 recognizes the voice emitted by the first user and displays the voice on the display unit 105 regardless of whether the voice emitted by the first user is emitted toward the second user. You may perform a process.

When the voice recognition unit 113 recognizes that the voice for inquiring the position of the second user is emitted, the voice signal generation unit 112 causes the latest vehicle position information acquired via the mobile body information analysis unit 111. Based on the above, the position of the second user can be output as a voice from the speaker 109. The voice recognition unit 113 may read the position information from the mobile body information storage unit 103 without going through the mobile body information analysis unit 111.

When the voice recognition unit 113 recognizes that the voice for inquiring the position of the second user is generated, the position of the second user may be displayed on the display unit 105, or the position of the second user may be displayed by voice. It is also possible to simply output from the speaker 109 at.

With the above configuration, the second user does not need to confirm the current position and reply to the first user, and can concentrate on driving the vehicle.

The voice recognition unit 113 recognizes that the first user has uttered a voice asking the second user about the time when the second user arrives at the destination, such as “when does the second user arrive?”. And At this time, the display control unit 104 can display the estimated arrival time on the display unit 105 based on the latest estimated arrival time stored in the mobile unit information storage unit 103.

Further, when the voice recognition unit 113 recognizes that the voice for inquiring the time of arrival at the destination is emitted, the voice signal generation unit 112 sets the latest estimated arrival time acquired via the mobile body information analysis unit 111. Based on this, the estimated arrival time can be output by voice from the speaker 109. The voice recognition unit 113 may read the estimated arrival time from the mobile body information storage unit 103 without going through the mobile body information analysis unit 111.

When the voice recognition unit 113 recognizes that the voice for inquiring the estimated arrival time is issued, the estimated arrival time may be displayed on the display unit 105, or the estimated arrival time may be output from the speaker 109 by voice. Good.

Also in this case, the second user does not need to check the estimated arrival time and reply to the first user, and can concentrate on driving the vehicle.

In FIG. 1, for example, a data communication unit 101, a voice transmitting/receiving unit 102, a storage/playback unit that stores and plays back information in a mobile body information storage unit 103, and a mobile body information analysis unit 111 are installed in the communication device 1. A central processing unit (CPU) of the computer can be configured by processing software by executing a computer program (communication control program).

Further, in FIG. 1, for example, the display control unit 104, the voice call control unit 107, and the voice signal generation unit 112 also process software by the central processing unit (CPU) of the computer executing a computer program (communication control program). Can be configured by.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the communication control program stored in the non-temporary storage medium 11 such as a hard disk drive or a semiconductor memory is loaded into the main memory 12 under the control of the CPU 10. The CPU 10 executes each instruction described in the communication control program loaded in the main memory 12. The CPU 10, the non-transitory storage medium 11, and the main memory 12 are connected to each other by a bus.

The operation of the communication device 1 (communication system) of this embodiment, the communication method of this embodiment, and the processing executed by the communication control program of this embodiment will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

In FIG. 3, when the communication between the communication device 1 and the mobile communication device 2 is established via the communication network 41 and the processing is started, the data communication unit 101 (CPU 10) performs mobile communication in step S1. It is determined whether or not information regarding the movement of the device 2 has been received. If the information regarding the movement is not received (NO), the data communication unit 101 (CPU 10) repeats the process of step S1.

When the information about the movement is received in step S1, the storage/playback unit (CPU 10) writes the received information in the mobile body information storage unit 103 in step S2. In step S3, the mobile unit information analysis unit 111 (CPU 10) analyzes the information regarding the movement of the mobile communication device 2 to determine whether the timing is suitable for the first user to make a voice call with the second user. Determine whether or not.

In step S4, the communication device 1 (CPU 10) determines whether or not the power supply (not shown in FIG. 1) is cut off. If the power is not turned off (NO), the communication device 1 (CPU 10) repeats the process from step S1. If the power is turned off (YES), the communication device 1 (CPU 10) ends the process.

In FIG. 4, the voice call control unit 107 (CPU 10) determines in step S11 whether or not a call operation has been performed by the operation unit 106. If the calling operation is not performed (NO), the voice call control unit 107 (CPU 10) repeats the process of step S11. If the call operation is performed (YES), the voice call control unit 107 (CPU 10) determines in step S12 whether or not the timing is suitable for the voice call.

If the timing is appropriate for the voice call in step S12 (YES), the voice call control unit 107 (CPU 10) controls the voice transceiver 102 (CPU 10) to call the smartphone 3 in step S13. The voice transmitting/receiving unit 102 (CPU 10) executes a voice transmitting/receiving process in step S14, and determines in step S15 whether or not the voice call has ended.

If the voice call is not completed in step S15 (NO), the voice transceiver 102 (CPU 10) repeats the processes of steps S14 and S15. If the voice call ends in step S15 (YES), the voice transceiver 102 (CPU 10) executes a voice call disconnection process in step S16.

The communication device 1 (CPU 10) determines whether or not the power supply is cut off in step S17. Step S17 may be the same process as step S4 of FIG. If the power is not turned off (NO), the communication device 1 (CPU 10) repeats the processing from step S11. If the power is turned off (YES), the communication device 1 (CPU 10) ends the process.

On the other hand, if the timing is not suitable for the voice call in step S12 (NO), the display control unit 104 (CPU 10) displays a message indicating that the call cannot be made in step S18. The voice signal generator 112 (CPU 10) may output a voice indicating that the call cannot be made in step S18.

In step S19, the display control unit 104 (CPU 10) determines whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed. If the predetermined time has not elapsed (NO), the process of step S19 is repeated. If the predetermined time has elapsed (YES), the display control unit 104 (CPU 10) erases the display indicating that the call cannot be made in step S20, and returns the process to step S11.

In the communication system shown in FIG. 1 described above, the mobile communication device 2 is a navigation device, and the mobile communication device 2 and the smartphone 3 are connected as an example. The mobile communication device 2 itself may be a smartphone.
